Pakistan, on the other hand, find themselves in a do-or-die situation. Their batting department put up a much better performance on Friday, with opener Imam-ul-Haq registering his fifth ODI ton to guide the visitors to a competitive 317/6. The bowling department though, failed to make any inroads into the hosts’ lineup, with the Proteas sitting comfortably at 187/2 after 33 overs, well ahead of the par score, when the heavens opened up and washed out any chances of the match continuing any further, giving Faf du Plessis’ boys a 2-1 series lead. The Proteas will be donning pink kits instead of the usual green-and-gold in the annual ‘Pink ODI’ — Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) initiative to raise awareness on breast cancer. South Africa have never lost a ‘Pink ODI’ since the first such match was played back in 2013, having beaten India by five wickets on 10 February last year.
